WORDS OF YOGASWAMI
WORDS OF YOGASWAMI
It is not a simple thing to control the mind. It cannot be done in a day, or even in a year. Through constant effort thoughts can be controlled a little. In this way the uncontrollable mind can finally be brought under control. This is the supreme victory.
Space is an ashram. It is best for one to live as nature prompts.
Be a student always. And that is a most difficult thing to be.
It does not matter what anybody says. It does not matter what the Sastras say. Consult your own experience and accept as true only that which conforms to it.
It is good to be a king and to do one's duty as one. People may not question the wrongs done by a king. That belongs to God. It is a great thing for a king to do his duty in a spirit of divine detachment. It is not everybody who can do that.
God is with you all the time. There is no work to be done.
Waves rise in the ocean; so waves of thought arise in the mind. Yoga is to control thoughts as they arise. Great ones say that Yoga means union. If you want to take hold of something, all the fingers must join together; similarly, in order to reach God, the mind must become one-pointed.
Move in conformity with changes within your environment. Be steadfast in truth. Natural forces are countless. Be you, your own self, while at the same time recognizing all these. That is wisdom. We do not do anything. Everything happens of its own accord.
